Fiercely critical of both Democrats and Republicans, Governor Jesse Ventura's views are thought-provoking and unpredictable. Don't miss Ventura at his most vigilant ,questioning government and those in power , on the full range of today's critical issues on his new show "Off the Grid" on Ora TV.

Jesse Ventura was suing the estate of Cris Kyle for $15 million for defamation and economic injury over the book "American Sniper". Kyle had claimed in interviews for his book tour that a character described in the book was in fact Jessie Ventura and that Kyle had decked Ventura in a bar at a Navy Seal's wake after Ventura had supposedly said things against the American government and also had supposedly said that the Seals deserved to loose a few for supporting the government.

The verdict rendered by the jury 8 to 2 was that Jessie had been defamed and economically injured by Kyle's claims and thus due 1.8 million from Kyle's estate. The publisher is expected to appeal the verdict.

Unless I got the title incorrect, it appears the book remains for sale. Amazon has it listed as a bestseller. I wonder if the publisher will have to go back into the text and edit/remove parts of it?

The publisher immediately upon hearing the verdict said that all references to that character was being deleted from all further editions of the book. I don't know how they plan to address the book versions already out there, but by the court action now it should be understood that these passages have no validity. Ideally I could see the older versions having an errata page insert if they have yet to be purchased.

Oh My God. In an interview with WCCO television, Thursday October 15, 2015, Governor Jessie Ventura says that he may accept a nomination from the Libertarian Party for President in 2016. He seems to be especially interested if the nominal candidates are Secretary Hillary Clinton and Governor Jeb Bush for the Democrats and Republicans. Jessie says that he would accept the nomination without registering as a Libertarian, the first candidate since General George Washington to run independently for President of the United States. Governor Ventura said that he would decide at the Libertarian Convention whether to run or not as deadlines in his case would not apply. As to being the running mate for Donald Trump, Governor Ventura said that he and Donald Trump are friends going on 20 years and as a matter of respect that he would consider running as Trump's Vice President. Oh My God.
